Banners on the highway

Bath & North East Somerset Council are responsible for maintaining footpaths. If you intend putting up a cross-street banner or displaying a banner on a building or land you will need permission from the Council’s Highway Maintenance and Development Management teams.

Items erected purely for commercial advertising will not be permitted.

The process can take 2 weeks, but please note that obtaining advertisement consent can take up to 8 weeks.

Length of time permitted:

Consent is to be for the minimum practical period for the purpose intended. In the case of banners advertising an event, will normally be for 1 week, (the duration depends on location and in special circumstances can be extended to 2 weeks).
